Agreed. The last three weeks of price action shift will mellow out IF the market likes what comes from this bailout. If not, time to write a system to exploit the "new" price action. I already have. Watch the VIX, but not only the VIX.

I don't care. Uncertainty is emotion. Emotion and trading don't mix. My systems work or they don't. If not, I fix them or replace them. Too much fun to have in life without analyzing what I will never know for sure.

Welcome to cash trading. If your system is, in fact, someone else's, then 1) you dont understand it, 2) cant fix it when it breaks and 3) wont know its broken until after your account is blown. I don't doubt that some retail systems out there are good, but I prefer my own systems, so I can...

Trashing the Fed is not impossible. Painful in the short-term, but if government wanted to fix the actual problems of inflation and money supply, they would indeed trash the Fed. Truthfully, the government would never concede to giving up that much power to the people.

Simulators and instruction are good mentors, but cash is the only way to build real trading skill. Success.

If you are saying that my money is at risk while sitting in the bank vault of my little local, one-branch bank, you're assuming that a majority of this little bank's loan customers will default. I doubt that, especially since I know most of those loan customers and they are debt-free with more...

Looks good to me. Simple is foreign to politicians, but it works. Only thing wrong with his plan is expecting citizen voices to sway political opinions. They're already set for life and they don't give a damn. But the rest of it is good theory.

Well, you're right about Berny not being elected. He is appointed, and no representative of the people can fire him. My post had nothing to do with renters or cheap homes. The obvious point was about where most Americans' wealth is invested.

Your idealism is touching, but pols say what is necessary to get in and then don't give a fart about you ever again. They are set for life by the end of their first term, a re-election would be for just more money. I guess there is one more sucker who thinks pols listen to the taxpayers.

'Tis why my bugout plans are in place at the first sign of the criminal class going out of control.

CNN sucks, and has for 25 years. Fox rocks.

Let it fall. It has to fall before it can rise. That is the cycle.

Send tickets to them FedEx overnight... Nov 12th in the penthouse of the Frisco Hyatt!

I read it. If they were tryin gto say Americans cannot live within their means, I have news for them. I already do.

Well, no shit, Sherlock, thanks for the wisdom. Asshat! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080924/bs_nm/us_usa_fed_bernankebiz

The pattern is obvious and there is no lack of people with money and power, wanting more of both. Of course it is no accident.

Agreed. Wonder if he prefers Walmart to locally-owned businesses, as well...

Major earthquake in the West, crippling LA, Frisco, Portland and Seattle. NOT already priced in.

Ever notice the exact correlation between 1) the USA's forcing Israel to negotiate land for peace and 2) disaster in the USA? Religious or not, use logic, people. Draw a timeline and plot the points. The more we dick around with Israel's land, the more crap comes our way, natural, economic and...

Hey, I'm no fan of Hussein the Muslim, but have any of you bothered to read up on Bush's family's history in America? Money, banking and more money.
